We are pleased to announce the exhibition Collection of Bibles from the Rare Books Department's holdings. The exhibits - both early printed and more modern - are part of a unique collection of exceptional scientific and artistic value. On display are about 60 illustrations from the bibles dating from 1454 to the early 18th century.
